The Center for Teaching & Learning has organized the following discussions
around the topic of quantitative reasoning. The objective has been to
stimulate discussion about how quantitative and analytical reasoning might
be articulated in College's curriculum, and to provide a forum for faculty
to learn about productive pedagogies.

A request, to the Deans of Social Sciences and Math/Natural Sciences, to
collect sample syllabi for courses with quantitative reasoning component;
the group will examine these syllabi to evaluate current practices

(This request was sent out 11-Nov-2007, and some materials have
already come in; they will be available at our next meeting.)

Goals for student
writing at Queens College, developed by Writing Across the Curriculum
(in consultation with a large sample of the College's faculty) and endorsed
by the Academic Senate, as a model for a possible set of goals on
quantitative literacy

Goals for Student
Writing at QC is an example of how WAC has articulated its objectives;
note in particular the parallel statements on what students will be able to
do and how faculty can help students work on those abilities
